Origin
and identity

Martina Navratilova made attacking tennis a sustained system of serve, movement and anticipation, excelling in every major discipline.

Her left-handed serve-and-volley game made Wimbledon a natural stage. Nine singles championships there anchored a career whose remarkable breadth also included prolonged dominance with Pam Shriver and major success in mixed doubles.

Fitness and longevity were central to her reinvention of the champion's role. She collected her first major singles title in 1978 and was still winning on a major stage in 2006, just before turning fifty.
